Qaeda No. 2: U.S. Hiding Failures In Iraq
In A New Video, Ayman al-Zawahri Warns The Mujahedeen There Are Strengthening


(AP) Al Qaeda's No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri said in a new video posted Monday that the United States is trying to hide its failures in Iraq and warned that the mujahedeen there are increasing in strength.

"We are seeing a triple failure for the Americans in Iraq," al-Zawahri said in the 90-minute videotape. "No matter how much the gigantic propoganda machine in America tries to deceive the people, the reality is stronger and worse than all the deceptions."

He said U.S. forces were "defeated and looking for a way out," and Iraqi forces were unable to keep security. Al-Zawahri denounced Sunni Arab tribal forces that the U.S. has backed in the fight against insurgent groups, calling them "traitors" to whom the Americans "pour oceans of bribes."

"The reports from Iraq tell of the growth of the mujahedeen and the collapse of the Americans' circumstances," al-Zawahri said.

6. You are definitely in the wrong place.

I have no idea why I'm responding to this, but to see a display of ignorance and delusion on this level at this late date in this criminal administration makes me wonder if you are a shill or perhaps just mentally ill.

Perhaps you should explain to us how things have gotten so "better" in Iraq.

By all means, illustrate is as much detail as possible.

While you are at it, please illustrate in detail, with links, documents, and references, how this was NOT a War that was based on Lies, against a country that was never a threat.

I suppose you will also provide specific documented, verifiable proof of Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

The only thing the MSM has is propaganda, not facts.

Now, since you can do none of this, why don't you take your propaganda and beer soaked brain, and fire up your BBQ Pit and your Plasma, and take in some Dancing With The Stars or your favorite reality show re-runs, or some riveting reports from Fox News, and feel good about your Government.

Meanwhile, our servicemen continue to die in a War Without Reason, FOR No Reason.

But that makes you feel so good, doesn't it.

7. Better compared to what?
And frankly, I find little difference between the lies of this Administration and the lies of a terrorist. If you're still carrying water for these assholes, I suspect that you have another agenda.

Oh. And bye-bye.

9. Since you claim "certain people on this site" aren't aware of the facts
...why don't you enlighten us and explain what they are?

8. Fuck al Zawahiri
and those who take him seriously. He's pissed that his boys aren't in charge in Iraq, and now he's delusional. And no, being STRONGLY anti-Zawahiri does not make one pro-Bush in any way. (Pathetic how that needs to be declared every now and then here. Recall Mahmoud at Columbia? Grow up, kids.)

10. Well, no shit, Sherlock. Not that it makes al-Zawahiri any less of a shitbag.
That is what it is to be an Imperial Subject of Amerika these days. To be squashed between competing sets of morally bankrupt fundamentalist tyrants who hate what the Old American Republic stood for until it's death when Bushler took over on 12/12/2000.
